Last night the national team was defeated again. Now in the hands of Kuwait. 2-0. After defending stalwartly for an hour, helding Kuwait to a scoreless scoreline, finally on the 76th minute, Malaysia crumbled under pressure. Conceeding a soft goal by any standard after a misunderstanding between Azmin Azram and one of his back four member. Then 3 minutes before time, again the Kuwaits striker. This time after an offside trap was broken. A sublime outside footer pass from midfield releasing Hamad Al - Harbi, cooly sloted in the ball pass the goal custodian.

With the inclusion of 5 Olypimpic Team member ( Alan Hariss' Super Olympic Team :: That's how John Dykes of ESPN put it ) Malaysia put up a spirited display. Far better from the 3-1 drubbing they got from Hong Kong. But a Kuwait team that needed full 3 point badly played better. Capitalising on errors made by the Malaysian.

Both Hairudin Omar and Ahmad Shukor Adan who subtitued him later played brilianty. Dictating the match from the midfield engine room. Malaysia came close to scoring a goal when Indra's header sizzles pass the bar and Nizarudin's effort saved by the keeper. Azmin Azram was much a better custodian compared to Hamsani who made a blunder out of everything due to his lack of international experience. Azmin showed why he is the better choice when he made few brilliant saves from Kuwait's foward.

All and all not everything is lost. Plenty of game to play for. If they manage to continue this form a win is not far away.

Ari Rabu tok Malaysia lawan Kuwait. Second game for the national team in the World Cup 2006 qualifier. After an embarassing start against Hong Kong, it is going to be a tough game for the Malaysian for a rebound to its normal form. A lot has happended since the last World Cup qualifier. Karl - Heinz Weigang no longer has any say in deciding the team member. Now K Rajagopal have his very own assistant in the form of Tajuddin Nor.

After the match against Hong Kong, the team manager, Datuk Ibrahim Saad all the way from London at that time, called for everyone involve in setting up the team to have a meeting with him as soon as he got back to Kuala Lumpur. The meeting between Rajagopal, Harris, Weigang and Ibrahim Saad himself has agreed to one few resolutions. Some of it we are going to see implemented straight away in the next game against Kuwait. These are few of them :-

1. No age limit for a player to join the national team. Previously Weigang has ruled out the involvement of the under - 23 team members due to their age which is still under - 23. He had an idea that if you are under - 23, stick to that group of age. Ibrahim Saad is totally against the idea. So in the next match, we are going to see the involvement of a few player from the under - 23 team. We are going to see the attack department spearheded by the ever talented Akmal Rizal, and the engine room will be operated by Hairuddin Omar and Indra Putra.

2. Allan Harris will no longer be involved in selection of players he will only be in charge of the technical part of the team.(beats me, what is a technical part of a team?) Both the national coach will consult with him from time to time to report progress.

So, come Wednesday we'll see wether the national team have recovered from their shocking and emberassing defeat against Hong Kong. It's is still a long way to go. But how nice if we had collected 3 points then. Now it is going to be tough all the way through.

About 2 weeks ago, a match was played against Indonesia and our national team. The stalemate ended in a 0 - 0 draw. Due to the preparation for the match against Kuwait, the Super League and the FA Cup was put to a halt. Much to the disatisfaction from a few parties namely Peter Butler of Sabah and the Chairman of Sarawak FA. Everything is done to ensure the national team have enough time to prepare for this World Cup qualifier. Hope it pays off.

Good luck to our boys.

1-0..credits to Wong Sai Kong..

Sarawak won the game against Perak. 1st leg winner of a two leg tie. Our prediction was right. Bujang Aloi, Boyakk, spot on!! Walaupun sik menang 3 gol nok kita suma bajet, tapi menang as like we thought lah.

Dalam tibi tek aku nanga report. Wong Sai Kong did a double header from a corner. His first head hit the bar (mun sik salah aku lah) but he didn't make mistake with the follow up lah. 1-0.

Also dari report ya, sigek seater was missed. Sayang eh. Mun dak a 2 goal cushion will be much better. Second leg main 14 aribulan. Bukan next week nok aku sangkak. So I'm really looking foward to that game lah.

Of all the result nok di padah tibi tek, the most interesting one is, Kedah - MPPJ lah. MPPJ menang 7-1. 7 pok!! Keeper ya nang menar - menar ada masalah lah.

Yeah, kalah juak akhirnya Perak. Stadium Sarawak really is our gelangang keramat.

So tonight is the match nok aku dah tunggu for the past few weeks. Match tok patut dipolah 17 aribulan 3 ariya. Tapi due to cotemplate ngan team national (both under-23 and senior) all Super League match plus a few FA Cup fixtures paksa di put off.

Tonight's match against Perak is the first eleg of 2. Second leg will be played ari Rabu tok kelak kat Ipoh. The last time Sarawak lawan Perak was 2nd leg quater final kat Kuching. The match ended with Sarawak winning the game 3-2. Walaupun menang, Sarawak sik apat advance ke semi - final bab kalah agreget 4-3.

Same with last season, Perak still ada player - player yang boleh mengoyahkan mana - mana defence kat Malaysia tok. Attack spearheaded by Frank Seator, followed closed by the national player Liew Kit Kong, Perak is still a force to be reckon with. Walaupun dah sekda midfield maestro (kalo nya form lah) Indra Putra, Perak still manage to play a game, full of flair and confidence.

As of Sarawak, match malam tok will be aksi sulong Kim Grant. Player yang digembar - gemburkan kan as a very good player. As he is already a long time partner with star striker Robert Eshun, so I am looking foward to a very impressive performance from Eshun - Grant partnership.

Wong Sai Kong, fresh from national duty with the senior squad masih di harapkan untuk mengerakan jentera tengah pasukan Sarawak. Arap - arap Gilbert dah bait lah dari injury, Mohamad Nor Derus start again and Bobby Pian holding the midfield, midfield kita mampu hold any challenges to protect the back four thus launching a very formidable attack.

Bobby Chua masih lagik diharapkan untuk menunjukan prestasi macam time lawan Kedah ariya. Time nya man - mark Akmal. Mun nya masih dapat kekalkan form nya, sekda masalah mok contain Liew Kit Kong or even Seator. Rodriguez seems to be player nok paling besar antara player - player defence line kita. So nya lah mungkin akan ditugaskan untuk mengawal Seator. Irwandy Jempaka ngan Hussein Razak akan lengkapkan our first 10. Trading their ply in the flanks, assisting both Gilbert and Mohamad Nor.

With Kamarulzaman between the post, we actually have a team that have a real chance against Perak malam tok. Bukan takat seri, tapi kalah kan terus.

I'm waiting for good news malam tok dari Kuching.

"Saya ingn mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada para peminat. Walapun mereka tahu Korea Selatan merupakan pasukan yang kuat, mereka tetap datang memberi sokongan padu."-Allan Harris

Rasa dihargai alu - alu eh. Walaupun aku sik turun tanga. Tapi rasa berbalaoi. Allan Harris acknowledge ramey orang masih sayang futbol national. Thanx!!

So the score last night was 1-0. Berita Harian madah, Malaysia got nothing to be ashamed of. I quite agree. We should feel proud that South Korea menang pun dari penalti. Ya pun dari clumsy tekel. Malam tadik sebenar nya mun Malaysia ada realistik keinginan mok pegi olimpik, Malaysia sik boleh kalak malam tadik. So now the door is not totally, but virtually closed for our under-23 boys. Skuad masa depan kata Allan Harris.

Allan Harris fielded almost the same squad dari nok melawan China last Saturday. The crowd was ok. About 2000++ penyokong Korea nok datang, they really made themselves heard last night.

The match started quite slowly. Duak - duak team ada masalah mok sesuaikan diri. First attack dari Korea, Akmal tekel player Korea. Free kick is awarded. Tapi wasted by the Korean. Then on the 7th minute, Malaysia manage to get a corner kick, K Rajan whipped it in, Akmal managed to find a space, getting away from his marker. Connect with a header, only to head it pass the bar. Shame, shame. Aku tauk ya lah peluang terbaik Malaysia mok skor malam tek.

Ya ajak lah highlight match malam tek. Dari Malaysia lah. Not untill towards the end of the game baruk lah Malaysia showed urgency. K Rajan was really the midfield dynamo malam tek. Nya main wing, mun nya main center mid field sure Akmal boleh dapat banyak gik bol. Also, Norhafiz Zamani Misbah stalwart eh malam tek.

Irwan Fadly pun free kick in the last 10 minute was saved by the keeper. Punched away. Then minit las game, Malaysia dapat free kick agik. Hasbullah Awang dah nerais dah time ball ya kenak kick, tapi bol ya nang sekda power lah. Curl jak banyak. So 1-0 lah the skor stands.

Overall, its not a bad performance dari Malaysia. To Malaysia's standard lah. What more can you expect kan? hehe.

Apa - apa pun aku banga lah tanga team Malaysia main. Sekda agik dah passing nok sik betul sik tentu pasal. Bukan sekda terus lah, ada lah juak. Tapi sik lah selalu gilak.

I'm actually looking foward more to match Sarawak - Perak Jumaat tok kat Kuching. Watch out for it guys!

SO malam tok, 2nd national assignment dalam masa seminggu. After match lawan China ari Sabtu ariya, everyone is starting to give high hope to this match. Ironically, the last time Malaysia kalahkan Korea was 1980 the very match nok ensure Malaysia pun participation kat Olympic Moscow. The last time both team met was qualifying olympic Barcelona, under Chow Kwai Lam, kalah 2-1 di KL, seri 0-0 kat Seoul.

Suddenlly kat paper padah aritok, Malaysia boleh banking kepada penyokong setia yang akan tetap memberi sokongan biar pun pasukan negara tewas?? huh...wtf? since when? Kenak anok ajak ada lah. Sekpa lah madi nadai nak?

The impressive point I have here is that, 1500 tekat pakey match malam tok dah dibeli oleh penyokong Korea. The infamous penyokong Korea will be with us dekat MPPJ stadium malam tok. Jangan penyokong kita outcry oleh dak nya dah lah.

Allan Harris will be fielding almost the same squad that held China to 1-1 draw last Saturday. Coach Korea was saying his worriness pasal team national. A very mysterious team kata dak nya. Sebab Malaysia time lawan Iran start briliantly only to end it shamefully, lawan China, started sloppy end it with style. So arap - arap kali tok main home, team national will show consistency.

I know we can defeat them. Atleast seri pun jadilah. Asal jangan kalah. We will never have a better chance to prove our worth dekat international stage.

Hi all,

gago gilak ngan election. Gago ngan test, gago ngan quiz, gago ngan assignment. Ya lah sekda update glak tok.

First thing first, ari Sabtu ariya telah menyaksikan kejutan dalam bola sepak Asia. Same proportion with 'mun' Arsenal kalah oleh West Ham. Malaysia seri ngan China! By this time around tak orang semua dah tauk pasal ya lah nak. 1-1, u do me proud!!

So sok ari lah perlawanan nok paling penting. Mun kalah, peluang Malaysia mok advance as good as sekda terus lah. Lawan Korea Selatan. Sapa sik kenal Korea Selatan? Sapa sik tauk kepantasan ngan ketahanan nok player Korea Selatan ada? So we are in for a treat lah malam esok. Stadium MPPJ bakal menjadi gelangang pertarungan, Malaysa - Korea.

Aku harap, result lawan China, sik jadikan player kita over confident. Tolong lah jangan. Tapi cara media ngangkat - ngangkat team tok, aku jadi takut. Mun dak dolok kah, sapa gago? Suma beranok gik ada. Dah result gtok suma gago madah nyokong. Typical Malaysia, 'melayu mudah lupak kah?'

Kehadiran balt Nor Hafiz nang menar - menar give a different. Nang menar - menar ada impak lah. Arap - arap nya dapat jadi tongak lagi skali dalam mengekang asakan Korea Selatan.

Lee Chon Soo, player Sociedad, sik main malam sok. Lekak nya skor kat Tehran ari dolok, nya di declare injured oleh kem Korea. Tapi sik bermakna threat alu sekda. Just berkurang lah.

So good luck to my fellow countrymen.

Sabtu tok second match for Olympic qualifer. Malaysia against China dekat China. After first match lawan Iran ari ya, Malaysia kalah 4-1 walaupun dah leading 1-0 at one point.

Lekak match nok first ya, semua orang padah ngan aku, nang di tauk Zul. Yang kau ingat boleh menang apa hal? Sekpa lah, biar lah aku sorang jak perasan. hehe.

China, antara few Asian country nok penah layak ke Piala Dunia. World Cup 2002, 1.2 Billion penduduk China were in jubilation bila team daknya qualify for World Cup. So negara tok nang terkenal as a football mad country. Just imagine bila - bila jak ada match antara Everton ngan Manchester City beratus juta penduduk China duduk depan tibi tanga match nok melibatkan 2 orang player paling pemos kat China, Li Tie ngan Sun Ji Hai. So our boys are in for a real challenge lah kat China weekend tok.

Mun di ambik dari segi form, Malaysia kalah first game, China pun kalah first game juak. 1- 0 to Japan. So both team are looking for their first win. Main kat home, China have the edge lah. Mun di ambik dari segi ability, Iran jauh lebih kuat dari China. Malaysia managed to bring the game to the Iranians the first 40mins of first half time lawan two weeks ago. Mun player kita dapat mantain kan the same level of urgency sik mustahil team kita make a surprise result.

With almost the same skuad kecuali departement defence, Malaysia really have a realistic chance. Time kat Sukan SEA kat Vietnam lok, kecerderaan Norhafiz Zamani Misbah really caused us the game against Vietnam. Nampak pincang alu jak defence line. So time lawan Iran lagik lah more injury woes to the defence line. The defence line pun lapse the las 5 minutes of the first half cost us the game. So kinek tok dah ada balit dah Norhafiz kita pun defence akan jadi solid lah. Mun sik solid pun, more reliable lah.

For once kali tok, Allan Harris ada kesempatan mok fieldkan his best 11. So for once, luck might be in our side. Dah salu gilak dah, team kita sik bernasib bait. Salu ada masalah especially injury prone players. Arap -arap sekda gik injured lah.

Malaysia need to get a result against China. Mok sik mok mun kalah agik, peluang amat tipis. Walaupun Arsenal buktikan kat Champions League, 1 point dari first 3 match, tapi Arsenal lain cerita lah nak? We need to get at least a point. Tapi tok bukan nya maksud aku nulak possiblity menang. Menang paling di cita kan lah.

Just arapkan sekda gik lapse lah. Arap full concentration 90 mins lah kali tok. Dah salu gilak dah lapse nok jadi asbab kalah. Asbab sik menang. Kelak peminat fed-up kelak. hehe.

Malaysia Boleh!

Sekda match ari Sabtu ari ya. Nang mati kutu lah sekda futbol mok di tanga. Mok tanga Milan v. Juve main pagi tek (3-1 to Milan..hurahh!) aku dah balit UTP bodo tok.

Sekpa lah. According to the paper, the first match Sarawak akan main after this is lawan Perak 31 March 2004. Ya sepatutnya 2nd leg FA Cup tapi dah tukar jadi 1st leg FA Cup. Apa tegal FAM tunda jadual sukati bapak nya jak. So paksa lah game lain insut. Asal dudi ari player sik terpaksa main banyak game yang di krem dalam masa yang pendek dah lah.

Aku dah prepare dah for my seasonal visit to Stadium Ipoh. Bendera, checked. Jersey, checked. Adik aku might be joining me. So sapa - sapa orang lain yang ada kat Perak tok yang baca blog tok, contact aku mun maok tanga match ya. Aku akan pegi with quite few biak Sarawak lain.

Paksa tungu sampey 31 Mac lah baruk dapat tanga Kim Grant main. Nok di war - war kan cam teror jak bunyi nya. Arap - arap nya menar - menar teror lah. Player import baru Perak will be a handful to defence line kita lah. Mun match lawan Kedah ariya dijadikan yardstick, payah dikit lah nak contain player - player Perak. Time lawan Kedah ariya, objektif defence line kita sigek jak, stop the ball from going to Akmal. And they managed to do that magnifacently just bila dipolah gya, terlepas lah player Kedah sorang alu lah nya skor duak gol. So mun macam ya payah lah, Perak ada banyak player yang boleh skor. Bukan Seator ajak nok boleh skor.

Apa - apa pun jauh agik ya. Kita sama - sama boleh tanga kelak lah.

Aok nang menar kita perlu frenly sebenyak mungkin ngan seberapa kualiti pun team tapi jangan sampey liga tempatan jadi mangsa.

Ish susah eh mok type 100% bahasa Sarawak. Try jak lah o. hehe. asal biak kedak Farith ya sik paham. (Mun ko gik juak try baca tok pok, ngan kau masih gik try baca aku paksa salute kau lah pok sebab ko mok coba juak!)

Walaupun match ari Sabtu tok kenak tunda, match ari rabu tetap jalan. 2nd round FA Cup antara Sarawak ngan Perak tetap jalan. Aok menar ndak kah?

Hi all,

By today its Monday already. Match Sarawak ngan Kedah was Saturday. So macam dah basik lah aku pun review tok o. Nei lah gaya, dah sekda internet kat umah. So paksa lah pegi CC. Lamak gilak leka tertunda - tunda eh, alu sik pegi CC lah aku.

Like what wasr report dekat Ngap Sayot Fansite, nang menar lah malam Sabtu riya siaran tertunda kat tibi match Sarawak ngan Kedah. I was very very excited.

Apa report kat news menar juak lah, Sarawak failed to obtain the ICT for Kim Grant. In layman's words nya sik apat main lah dolok time lawan Kedah. Before lawan Kedah tok, Sarawak scored only two goals. Aku dah stat worry ngan Sarawak pun attacknig prowess. Though, Sarawak ada 7 orang foward kinek tok aku nang menar - menar riso ngan ability Sarawak to score goal lah.

So, a Kim Grant-less Sarawak lah nok main malam ya. Sarawak field virtually the same skuad nok seri ngan Perils kat Kuching two weeks ago.(Aku sampey kinek tok sik tauk kenak perul ada break ariya!)

Sarawak dressed in a dark blue outfit against the yellow and green of Kedah. Match ya start wit both team amat berhati - hati. Tapi the way dak Kedah exchange passing made player Sarawak mere spectators for the first 5 minutes. Nothing yang baru I assume. On the 6th minute, Kedah was the first to attack the goal. Hasmawi Hassan cross the ball beautifully from the halfway line looking for the surging Akmal. Bobby Chua nok ditugaskan mengawal Akmal was out of position. Akmal chested the ball beatifully, brought the ball down, look at Kamarulzaman, then unleashed a very powerful left foot grounder only to miss the goal by inches. A sigh of relief from me. Leka, one word. Leka. Nasib bait sik masuk. Mun defender sik hassle Akmal time ya, dah 1-0 dah kedah.

So Sarawak start to take matters to their hands, minit ke 9 Sarawak dapat free kick bila Wong Sai Kong was fouled betul - betul depan penalty box. Wong Sai Kong stood up to take the kick himself. Tanga si Hafiz ya belah kiri gilak, he sent a curled dipping shot to the right, only for the keeper to push it away. First real chance for Sarawak.

Bila match dah masuk minit ke 15, duak - duak team dah setel in. Kedah sepanjang 15 minit main, seems to be the better team. The passed the ball briliantly. Pass it around. Jarang - jarang player Sarawak hold the ball.

Sarawak second chance came in the 17th minute. Another free kick. Dengan kemasukan Mad Norderus season tok, Sarawak dah ada sorang gik dead ball specialist. Mad Nor pun free kick, hit the bar when everybody including Kedah's keeper thought the ball was on its way out. 2 igek free kick, both showed Sarawak power set piece season tok. Team lain beware! Dah duak kali dah ampir - ampir goal.

The goal that the crowd was looking for, came in the 31st minute. A counter attack dari Sarawak. From the center of the field, the ball got to Manuel Co. Nya shimmy sorang defender Kedah, already in the penalty box, had a look, then shot. Hafiz tekak betul, nya dapat push the ground shot dari Manuel Co. only to the foot of Wong Sai Kong. Calmly he tucked it in. 1-0. Game ON! Second goal for Wong Sai Kong. Kedah's defence line was to be blamed. Wong Sai Kong positioning and altertness patut dipuji.

Kedah came roaring back! 2 minutes later, daknya dapat free kick betul - betul depan penalty box. Wall nok diprepare oleh player Sarawak, dari view aku lah, sik kaber Kamarulzaman. The first kick hit the wall. Tapi ref suroh free kick ya di ambik balit. Bab Eshun moved too early. This time Marco Antonio make no mistake. A thunderous kick hit the under bar and into the goal. 1-1 Game on to Kedah! Aku sik blame defence line lah. Nothing can be done. Tapi Eshun lah, kamon lah dah pro sikkan lah polah dat kind of mistake. Mun sik tegal free kick ya di ambik gik skali, sik mungkin gol bah.

Sarawak try to retake the lad. Minit ke 41 after a scuffle in front of the panty box, Manuel Co. managed to let go a thru ball inside the six yard box. Tapi Eshun lambat react. Nya dah turn kacak dah. Kali padang kali. Berpasir gilak padang malam ya. More than thrice si Manuel Co. ngan Eshun gugok. So at half time 1-1.

The second half start slowly juak macam first half. But jus for the first 5 minute. Hasdi ngan Manuel Co. was in thick of action. On the 65th minute what seems to be a tussle between Eshun ngan Badri resulted to a yellow card. At first asalnya si Eshun taris Badri. Badri gugok, mbak ati manas di tikam nya bol kat Eshun. Very unsportmanship conduct. Yellow to him lah.

Minute ke 69 Sarawak dapat corner, defence Kedah clear the ball. Marcos Antonio start to run with the ball on the left flank. Sarawak pun defence line took their places. Nobody covered Marcos bab nya jauh gilak dari orang lain. Bila nya dah masuk penalty box, when everbody ingat nya mok cross, ya lah nya shoot ngan kaki kirk nya. Gol to Kedah, 2-1. A beautifully struct stunner that stunnder the entire defence line Sarawak. Again aku sik salahkan defence lah, gol ya kacak. It came from a counter. Mok arap Bobby Pian balit kah, boh jak.

Sepanjang match tok, aku puji defence line Sarawak. Lead by Bobby Chua, I was very very impressed. Nang malam ya, Akmal sik ke siney lah. Trevor Morgan pun message was simple, you contain Akmal, you can stop the goal. Tapi mun dah goal datang dari free kick ngan counter, sik apat polah apa lah nak? Tapi Bobby Chua nang bes main malam ya. Even Hussein Razak. Aku rasa Bobby Pian main defence midfield malam ya lah. So we actually have 5 defender malam ya. Bobby Chua nang ditugas ngikat Akmal.

Game dah 2-1. Kedah start to slow the tempo down. Nang lah nak, the previous 2 match, Kedah led the opponent. Only to see them beaten. So sidak nya sik maok pisang berbuah 3 kali. Minit ke 71 one of the rare attack mounter by team Sarawak, came from a counter attack. Involve Manuel Co. ngan Eshun. The entire defence Kedah tengah ngekot sidak duak tok. Bila ball sampey ke Eshun, quickly he chipped it to Mad Norderus nok tengah berekot kat ujong penalti box. Unfortuntalely he and Hafiz keeper Kedah mis timed the ball. The keeper pushed it away. The corner was quickly taken. Mad Norderus sent the ball to the penalty box only for the ball to hit the post. Nasib bait gik ngan Kedah. They were actually lucky that night. Straight from corner, ampir - ampir gol.

Bila si assistant refree dah ngangkat plycard madah stoppage time ada 3 minit, Manuel Co. got the ball to the edge of penalty box. Float the ball brilliantly, Eshun rose steadily head it to the opposing direction, 2-2. Sarawak manage to snatch a late late equaliser. Semangat sik ngalah player Sarawak paid off again. 2-2, a point won to Sarawak, 2 point lost to Kedah.

So the match end 2-2. Actually the whole night, Kedah looked to be the more deserving winner. Tapi aku sikpat sik muji defence line Sarawak lah. Bobby Chua, you are the man! Aku berik form nya malam ya 15/10. Caranya baca move Kedah, caranya baca move Akmal was pure genius! Mun gya lah cara defence Sarawak main the entire season, kita boleh pegi jauh season tok.

Yang aku riso, midfield lah. Nang putus. Aku sik paham kenak tiap kali Bobby Pian mbak ball ke atas, kakya mun ada player Kedah approach, rupanya mesti lost. Macam sik tauk apa mok polah. Tedah aku nangga. Nasib bait lah Mad Norderus ya ada, adalah juak nok berani mbak ball. Sarawak missed Gilbert terribly malam ya. Sekda orang nok berani mok mbak ball. Paksa arap ngan Eshun juak. Maka jak Eshun ya striker. One more thing, the control was just phatetic. Sarawak pun player nang jaik alu lah control. Kamonlah, back to basic guys! Even Wong Sai Kong pun asal tahan ball mesti bobbling jak ball ya. The same controlling woes comming from Eshun ngan Manuel Co. was unforgiven. Terok gilak kah player Sarawak. Giving the benefit of the doubt, aku rasa padang jaik gilak lah malam ya.

So after 3 match, Sarawak masih belum menang gik. Tapi lekak match ke 3 aku dah dapat tanga lah keserasian dalam team Sarawak. Nei lah nak molah, dah dudi - dudi baruk gago sign import. Orang lain dah bepuluh dah frenly dipolah before season start. Sarawak baruk gago nak ncarik import. Tok pun belum tentu gik wether Kim Grant dapat main kah isik.

Next up is Perak. Perak baruk kak menang convincingly 4 - 0 to Public Bank ari Sabtu riya. Seator ngan kinek tok baru Liew Kit Kong, patut di awasi oleh player Sarawak. Given the size of Seator, Rodriguez should take charge of him and Bobby Chua ekot Liew.

Apa - apa pun, aku patut ucap thaniah ngan team kita. Congrats GUYS! Kedah came with a mission to win, tapi kita berjaya snatch a draw. Apa kira, las minit pun las minit lah. Yang penting seri!

-ngap ajak!

Malam tadik match first skuad bawah-23 taun Malaysia. Unfortunately for Malaysia bcoz di engkah sama grup ngan Iran, Korea Selatan, ngan China.

Iran, champion Asia Game 2002 kat Busan. With 8 players dari team ya akan main under-23 so tuff team lah.

South Korea, a team dat need no introduction. With the likes of Cha Du Ri main, a very tough prospect to deny a place in the Olympic.

China, football mad country that made their first appearance in World Cup in the year 2002.

So you add up all these team pun strength, yup, Malaysia akan jadi budak belasahan ajak.

Bila Iran sampey ari dolok, coach nya awal - awal dah madah, lawan Malaysia opening kelak kamek orang dah kompem menang. O tedah ngan Malaysia, kenak opponent boleh rasa gia?

Counter balit oleh Allan Harris, nya sik takut. Nya yakin kejutan akan berlaku. Akhmal for the first time yang akan jadi kapten pun melaunkgkan keyakinan yang sama.

Confidence are sky rocketting for both team so we are in for a treat lah come March 3rd.

So malam tadik berlansung lah match ya. Aku ada test datacom 9-10. Match start puklu 8.45. I finished the test in 20 mins just to be infront of tv in time for the match. (Thanks to star sports for making that match a live telecast! ) Sampey - sampey jak aku kat cafe, aku sik cayak what i'm witnessing. Malaysia 1 - Iran 0. Aku alu duduk depan tibi carik spot paling bagus. Paling depan dak student Iran dah lamak dah duduk cya.

After bout 10 mins aku duduk, a clever move from Iran involving a player back heeled the ball releasing an on rushing player in side the penalty box. Released a thunderous shot right in front of six yard box. BOOM!, Syamsuri made a great save. It would be superb mun nya tulak ke luar, tapi nya tulak ke dalam, only for another Iran player tapi in jak. Unlucky for our lad, 1-1. Soft soft goal.

Right after the restart, Iran got off to another attack, only for the defender to clear the ball for a corner to Iran. The corner look unharm not untill a player in white, unchallenged, leap high to nod down the ball. 2-1, Syamsuri was defeated again. A brace form Iran got the stadium to dead silent. As the game goes into stoppage time, Iran and Malaysia's player exchange blows. Indra nasib bait kenak kad kunin jak which to me looks like a red carded offence. Frustration start to show lah ya. Den the half ends.

The score at half time 2-1. I know Allan Harris can remedy a solution. A comeback is not impossible. Remember Vietnam? So time half time tok lah aku nanga highlights from what I have missed. Dem! Malaysia played beautiful football. Syamsuri, unlike time Asia Cup qualifier dolok, played briliantly. Made a couple of tremendous save. Mid field engine Malaysia was very very impressive. Akhmal got a chance, bila nya dah sped off tinggal kan defender, only to see his shot goes milimetres wide. Things are looking good for Malaysia. Indra ada free kick kenak tiang. Faizal Shaari ada shot yang sipik jak si masuk. Den come the goal.

A curling free kick from Indra, releasing Akhmal. Akhmal, geniiusly got down on ground releasing an inch perfect header. Iran was saved by the post, not from Faizal Shaari. The rules of engagment for a striker is, never fail to scrammble inside the six yard box. Cooly, Fazli Shaari slot it in. The crowd couldn't believe it, we led. 1-0. Aku nak nangis nanga ya. Walau pun aku tauk skor dah 2-1.

Sayang nang seribu kali sayang, tempo first half sik apat di sambung oleh player Malaysia. Right from the restart of the match dalam 2nd half it was a one flow traffic. Morale down kali. Tapi sikkan lah nak. Nang inviting alu midfield Malaysia suroh Iran attack. Iran pun apa gik nak. Keep on attacking lah. 2,3 shot lah they made on target. Again denied by Syamsuri.

Dalam exchanges ya lah, an Iran player ran solo, unchallenged realeased a powershot menar menar depan penalti box, a dfender tried to clear it, unfortunately deflected it to his own net. 3-1. Iran, jubilated. Aku time tok dah sik cayak dah apa yang aku dimpun tanga. But I never expect more kan. But don't go down that easily lah.

Then aku dah sik tumpu perhatian ngan match ya dah. SIk amak kak ya, Iran dapat penalti. Aku alu angkat, I know the score know, 4-1 to Iran. Unfortane for Allan Harris and rakyat Malaysia. Our boys fails us again!!

Aku sik dapat nak marah apa lah. One thing for sure, Iran nang kuat. Tapi first half kita dah dapat show yang we can take the game to them. Siap boleh skor agik ya. Lapse in the dying minute seems to be the key factor agik. Again, remember Vietnam?

Nak madah sekda pengalaman, suma tok dah puas dah di dedahkan dengan macam - macam match international. Players like Indra, Akhmal dah boleh di tungah superstar dah dekat Malaysia tok. Tapi sikkan lah nok basic ya pun sik paham - paham sampey kinek tok.

Everybody know, early part of the match, late half ngan early second half is the most crucial time not to conceed a goal. But what did our boys did? The did exactly the opposite. All the 4 goals di skor during this crucial time. Starting the 2nd half, the first time to setel down adalah team yang akan kawal tempo game dolok. Tapi Malaysia never seem to be setteling in. Tough luck lah!

Aku rasa cdak tok ajak lah harapan terakhir kita mun mok tanga imej pasukan kebangsaa di perbaiki. Aku dah kepak dah mempertahankan team national aku. Dalam mana orang lain gago melaungkan team fevret nya England, Brazil, Italy apa suma, kamek orang tok lah gago madah ngan orang pasal Malaysia. Everytima ya lah kamek orang will receive negetavie responce. Tapi sik apa, kamek orang tauk sekda ada team lain mok di sokong. Team senior is going thru a gloomy period kinek tok. Cdak nya pun next match is on 31 march if i'm not mistakane. For the under 23 team next up is China. China kalah 1-0 oleh Korea. So things are not looking any better for our boys.

If ada rasa mok improve, Allan Harris did his job. Nya dah berik tunjuk ajar apa yang patut, its now up to the players lah. Semangat sik cukup kental. Kata mahathir bah, MELAYU MUDAH LUPA! Kali benar juak kata orang tua ya lah kan? Sik tauk lah aku kenak sik apat di tekel tekel masalah ya. Malaysia always fail to clear the last hurdle. In any game. Suma sport gya. Kenak kah o. Dah rasa cukup kah? Puas ati dah kah?

Jangan gya lah lagik. Its time for a change. Mun dak makin sekda orang mok gago ngan tak orang kak tok.

Aku reserve energy,emosi pakey Sarawak lawan Kedah ari sabtu tok.

Till then

-ngap ajak!

Peluang kami ke atas Malaysia bukan 50-50 tetapi kemenangan adalah hak mutlak kami...

those are the arragont words dari coach Iran. First impression aku bila dengar ya, berapi rasa telinga.

Sok malam, Stadium MPPJ bakal menyaksikan perlawanan antara Malaysia ngan Iran. First match for qualifier Olympic Athens. On the card, Susah lah nak ngalah Iran. Champion Asian Game 2 yrs ago. So they have arrived to finish Malaysia pun cabaran once and for all.

Malaysia will be without the kepten, Nor Hafiz Zamani Misbah. Though dah bait dari injury, tapi still lack of match fitness. So nya sik akan di turunkan. Time main kat SEA Game ariya, telah nampak apa jadi mun Zamani Misbah sik main. Apa jadi ngan defence Malaysia without the stopper. So malam esok will be a taff night for defence line Malaysia.

Malaysia will have to be very very aware of Eman. According to the papers today, "the star in the making" is ready to terrorized Malaysia's defence line. We'll see bout that.

Arap - arap ramey orang turun padang malam tok. Beriklah sokongan pada team Malaysia. They need your support. Lupakan kalah 2-1 oleh Hong Kong. Ya senior skuad. This skuad is much better. They will do better. Aku yakin Malaysia boleh pegi jauh.

2004 will see participation of Malaysia's under-23 football squad. Brazil pun sik layak! We can do it!! I'm very optimistic. Nothing is impossible bah.

Kepada skuad Malaysia;

-ngap ajak!
